This is why you are so out of touch (and sympathy!) with the issues of flyover country working class folk.
And why you rely on "links" rather than first hand personal experiences.
My son lives in a 3.5 million dollar house in Silicon Valley that is equivalent to a $250,000 autoworker's house where I live in Michigan.
His "castle" was originally built for blue collar aerospace workers who fled the state decades ago.
On the other hand, California leads the nation in homelessness.
This it a liberal (3rd world) paradise.
